ronald reagan did it with a democratic house after a resounding second term victory. as did bill clinton with the republican controlled house and republican controlled senate after a more resounding second term victory then president obama. both examples, both of them, illustrate the rare opportunity that divided government presents. president obama can follow suit or he can take the extremist view that both reagan and clinton rejected by founding his nose at the other side and insisting that if republicans are not willing to do things his way he will not do anything at all. if the president is serious, he will follow the lead of president reagan and clinton. if he is really serious, he will put the campaign rhetoric aside, propose a realistic resolution that can pass a republican controlled house and a divided senate, and work to get it done. if the president acts in this spirit, i have no doubt he will have the support of his own party and a willing partner in hours. the american people will criticize of relief knowing not only that we have avoided a crisis, but tha

at ronald reagan national airport. as we look at the holiday fast approaching thanksgiving next week we are anticipating a busy travel season once again and the men and women of t.s.a. are standing at the ready to provide the most effective security and the most efficient way. this year we are anticipating over 24 million passengers traveling during the thanksgiving holiday period. and as you know, that can create both challenges and opportunities for the traveling public, especially those who travel infrequently. so part of the reason for being here today is to encourage those infrequent travelers to visit the t.s.a. website, to look for ways they can understand the screening security process in ways that will help all those others in line deal with the longer lines that we usually see. so this has been a busy and i'd say productive year for t.s.a., as we have focused on developing and testing and implementing a number of what we call risk-based security initiatives. things that are enabling us to provide the most eff
